As if we need another thread - but we need to coalesce this action into one thread. a LIVE VIDEO feed from the courthouse:

Trending #1 on Twitter right now "Michael Flynn"

Michael Flynn charged with making false statements to FBI

Special counsel Robert Mueller has charged Trump's former national security advisor Michael Flynn with “willfully and knowingly” making “false, fictitious and fraudulent statements” to the FBI regarding contact with Russia’s ambassador.

1. There will be a live presser 10:30 am est

[L. Coyote]

28. Apparently, that did not happen. Plenty of coverage but few details still.

2. thanks

3. K&R

It would really be nice to have it all in one thread.

[grantcart]

4. Fox: This is the Obama administration setting Flynn up. lol

[lunasun]

13. Or the Clintons seeking revenge !

[SummerSnow]

29. Covfefe revenge

[Zambero]

17. Yes, and Obama urged Trump to steer clear of Flynn

Obama's advice fell on deaf ears. He FAILED to get Trump to go along.
SHOCKING!!!

[grantcart]

5. I wonder who hid Trump's phone lol

[L. Coyote]

8. Imagine the scene over at the White House. I hope they put spittle protection on the walls.

Trump knows his goose is cooked now, Flynn is singing "Lock HIM up."

9. Spittle??

More like poo being flung in all directions? Drop cloths hung from the ceiling....

6. Excellent. This changes the subject.

The MSM will be forced to stop their breathless wall to wall 24-7 coverage of Franken and Conyers for a while. God knows they were never going to dig into any GOP peccadilloes anyway.

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

7. Don't you wish you could be outside the courthouse?

The chance to shout Lock Him Up, Lock Him Up while he goes would be a real cathartic moment.

[L. Coyote]

10. Indeed. He sure deserves that chance. I prefer "Lock THEM up."

11. They Had Flynn Cold

For multiple crimes. His son was also implicated. Flynn pleading guilty to a lesser charge is absolutely YUGE. There should be a WH meltdown in 1 . . . 2 . . .

Watch for Pence tp start writhing, too.

Early Christmas presents coming ur way!

[L. Coyote]

15. On the first day of Christmas, Bob Mueller gave to us: one cooperating witness

On the second day of Christmas, two felony counts (a guy can hope), on the third day three ....

18. Can we assume that since he's allowed to plead guilty to this charge, they have him by the very tiny

balls and he'll squeal like the pig he is and we get someone higher? Why else would they not have executed the other indictments we heard they had?

Can we hope he's gonna help to take the orange con down?

[L. Coyote]

21. He could only get a plea deal if he had "something of value" to the investigation.

They had him dead to rights, his son too who figures into his equation of whether or not to cooperate.

Link to tweet

[Lee-Lee]

26. Maybe, maybe not

We don’t know if there was a deal that resulted in this plea or this was the only charge they had and he is pleading guilty because he knows they have him dead to rights.

You don’t have to have a deal to plea guilty.

[L. Coyote]

19. Man chants "Lock him up!" outside DC District Court Michael Flynn just entered.

34. ABC's framing is just delightful

JUST IN: @BrianRoss on @ABC News Special Report: Michael Flynn promised "full cooperation to the Mueller team" and is prepared to testify that as a candidate, Donald Trump "directed him to make contact with the Russians." abcn.ws/2AhU3Iq

[L. Coyote]

36. WOW! .... as a candidate, Donald Trump "directed him to make contact with the Russians."

No wonder Trump crapped his pants and had to run to the toilet when asked about Flynn.
